If he is in school, he must decide whether he can abandon his classrooms, or the decision must be left with his parents or guardians. It is not for the tennis powers to make the decision, and for them to do so and to exclude arbitrarily all college players and players in limited circumstances would bring forth a stronger outcry than has been made because Johnny Doeg, for one, left Leland Stanford University tem- porarily for Augusta. I T was not until we lost the Davis Cup that the tennis association was faced with such a situation as exists to- day. As the holders of the cup, our defence activities did not begin until ..A.ugust, which was in the midst of the regular tournament season, and there was no call for anyone to tra vel far or long. Circumstances have made it necessary to inaugurate an entirely new order of procedure. Even as far as the association has gone in giving every one a chance to make the team, it has not been able to please all the candidates and, un- avoidable as it was, one cannot help but sympathize with young Van Ryn over his unhappy lot. When the first camp was held at Augusta, V-an Ryn, one of the most gifted of the rising order of players, declined an invitation on the ground that he could not neg- lect his school work at the time. His decision was approved by the Davis Cup powers and he was assured that he would have the opportunity to make the team in the next series of tests. But it happens that the current 5eries now going on in St. Louis is even more untimely than the first, with final exams directly ahead for him at Princeton, and so he had to pass up the second bid and sacrifice his chances of making the team on the altar of higher education. It can be said that no one regrets Van Ryn's absence from the lists more than does the Davis Cup Committee, for both he and Chandler, who is also busy with his law work at Harvard, are exactly the type of youth that the U .S.L. T .A. would like to have represent it in international play. -A. D. . Few people stop to realize the enormity of the task of putting on a Follies pro- duction.-The American Sketch.
